I love Japanese food: I love rice, I love miso soup and I love soy sauce. However, that does not mean that I eat only Japanese food. My mum likes Western food as well, so she often cooks pasta, roast chicken and many other kinds of non-Japanese dishes. This is one her recipes and I have decided to blog about since it is very easy! I know that "real" western tartare sauce has more ingredients such as capers and pickles, but they are not so common in Japan and my mum makes it in more simpler way, as you can see below...
Ingredients (serves:4)
- 4 boiled eggs
- 1 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/2 of onion
- Some fresh or dried parsley
- 1.5 tablespoon of vinegar
- Salt and pepper
Directions
1. Mince the onion and microwave it for 30 seconds or put it in ice water for 1 minutes. Using kitchen paper, remove the juice and water completely.
2. Chop the eggs. I prefer to have them chunky but you can cut them as you like.
3. In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients.
I like to have fish with this sauce. My methods are:
1. Remove the fish from the fridge and leave it until coming up to room temperature.
2. Season with salt and pepper, and coat with flour.
3. Fry in a pan with olive oil.
4. Enjoy with tartare sauce!
I especially recommend the combination of salmon and tartare sauce. Salmon is really good with soy sauce or miso, which I will blog in the future, but tartare sauce is also my favourite.
Other ideas for this sauce could be sandwich, deep fried chicken and potato salad. My mum always serves deep fried oysters with this sauce in winter, which also super yummy!
I know mayo is not as healthy as soy sauce, but if you add one big plate of salad, I think this could be counted as a healthy lunch!
